Sunny skies have been my favorite part of this week. Crisp, autumn weather – sweater and scarf (but no coat) weather, put the yard to bed weather, feel invigorated weather. Fingers crossed it lasts through the weekend for all the great activities, indoors and out, that are on the ThurstonTalk Events Calendar. And, amidst your fall frenzy of activities, be sure and pause on Friday to honor our veterans. Their service to our country is a shining example of true patriotism.
